Rasberry Shortbread Bars

Everyone loves these raspberry bars, they receive got an ultra-buttery shortbread crust topped amongst cooked raspberries in addition to a streusel topping. They are rattling sweet, buttery, tender AND they cut nicely...perfect for gift giving.



Raspberries grow good inward Alaska, hence if yous are lucky plenty to receive got around inward the freezer, this is a wonderful recipe for them; I'm non hence lucky, hence I used a 12 ounce handbag of frozen raspberries.

NOTE: You tin dismiss skip this stair if yous desire to work raspberry (or ANY flavor) jam.

Put the berries (no demand to thaw) in a heavy saucepan amongst 1/4 loving cup of H2O in addition to i loving cup of white sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, in addition to hence trim down the oestrus to medium high and simmer the berries until thick (I plough mine downward to a medium depression oestrus for a gentle boil in addition to laid upwards them for close xv minutes, stirring i time inward a while). Set aside to cool (they volition thicken fifty-fifty to a greater extent than as they cool).


SHORTBREAD CRUST
21 tablespoons of butter, melted in addition to cooled to room temp.
This seems similar a lot of butter, only it makes an 
upper AND lower crust
3/4 loving cup of white sugar
2 large egg yolks
3 cups + three tablespoons all work flour
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix everything inward a stand upwards mixer: it volition brand a rattling rigid dough. Remove TWO CUPS of this dough in addition to pat it evenly into a parchment (or foil) lined nine x xiii pan. Chill inward the fridge for xxx minutes (or freezer for 10 minutes). Remove in addition to prick the dough amongst a fork.

Bake the nine x xiii chilled pan of dough, on the middle rack of your oven, for xx minutes at 325°After xx minutes, the dough volition withal hold out rattling pale inward color in addition to volition non receive got whatsoever golden color on the edges. Remove it from the oven in addition to spread the cooled raspberry filling (or jam) evenly over it.


To the reserved shortbread dough(that yous laid aside), add together 1/4 loving cup of granulated saccharide in addition to 1/2 loving cup of chopped pecans. Use a fork to interruption upwards the dough into crumbs.


Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the raspberry layer in addition to press e'er hence lightly. Bake on the TOP rack of a 350° oven for 25 minutes (my electrical oven takes 32 minutes). The topping should hold out a golden color (watch the crumbles towards the halt of the baking fourth dimension hence they don't larn dark). 

Cool baked bars (in the pan) on a wire rack for at to the lowest degree an sixty minutes or until completely firm. When the bottom of the pan is completely cool to the touch, elevator the bars out of the pan yesteryear pulling on the flap ends of the foil. Cut into 2" bars. These volition boot the bucket along at room temperature for a week.




 NOTE: The butter criterion of 21 tablespoons is non a typing error.

NOTE: Line  your 9" x 13" baking pan with parchment (or foil) in addition to operate out the ends of the foil a piddling long, hence yous tin dismiss work them every bit handles to elevator the cooled bars out of the pan. You don't receive got to grease the bottom of the pan because there's hence much butter inward the shortbread, only DO spray the sides of the pan/foil amongst cooking spray hence the jam doesn't stick to the sides.

NOTE: Pay attending to baking temperatures. The get-go crust pre-bake is on the middle rack at 325°. The in conclusion bake is on the TOP rack at 350° so that the bottom of the crust doesn't larn likewise dark.


NOTE: You tin dismiss work whatsoever flavour jam yous like.
